Can anybody tell me how vacation snuck up on me so quickly?
I had to rapidly think through my grocerys when I realized yesterday that payday was today. *panics* LOL
Last year we vacationed on a planned menu, it cut down the crap we had in our van by 1/2 and cut our expenses down by half. So Rob and I sat down and planned a menu, and I shopped accordingly today. Now I have a pile of vacation stuff sitting on my trunk in my bedroom.
I also bought Zeria's bday pressie as her birthday is in 8 days--in the middle of vacation. She was going to get a new bike, but I scored one for her at the rummage store for $7 a couple weeks ago. It was used twice. Which isn't the case any more. I offered her to still get her a new and bigger bike, but she very much wanted something else, so I purchased that. She unfortunately knows now what's she's getting, but at least we know she'll like it. What is it? A digital camera. Its a kid friendly one. I got her one last year, and she loved it although it got abused by a friend and broke. We had a long talk about how she won't be lending it this time. I so hope I didn't make a mistake. But how are they going to learn. And I didn't pay a ton for it. UMM $50'ish?
So, now I've been shopping for about 6.5 hours, and I've spent a ton of money, and I'm exhausted. LOL
Which means next step is a cat-nap. The step after that is to go feed the chickens.
Yup, chickens.
They were an impulse buy on Saturday. Actually we've been planning on purchasing them all summer, but I never remembered to stop at the feed store. Someone was selling them at the Sekiu/Clallam Bay fundays---and so we have $16 chickens.
I think we're getting closer to qualifying as a farm. *snicker*
I'm feeling a bit better--but still tired and draggy. And the sinus headache is lingering. The depression however appears to be slowly disappearing. One can hope right?-

cool for the chickens! i so want some.
i hope you have a wonderful vacation.
We did a planned menu too this year for vacation. We ate out for lunch, but had breakfast and dinner at the cabin. We cooked the meat over the open campfire and it was delicious! YUM YUM YUM!
Have a good and safe trip!
Yea for chickens! We're allowed three hens in Springfield city limits. We just haven't gotten that far. Probably won't LOL
Vacation.
Wazzat?
And, when does this vacation start? *g*
Been running in circles after going back to work today....deleted my way through 168 emails. Mostly junk.
Anyways, we had chickens here ...and the eggs are so much better than in the store. We kept them penned at night...didn't want to lure the raccoons and weaseals any closer than necessary. Though we also had a dog at the time. We even let some eggs hatch...thinking they all wouldn't. Wrong!! They did. *g*
Our oldest has had a digital camera before, and I think it's a good learning experience too. It's also a ton better than wasting film.
I'm glad you are feeling better.
Way to go buying chickens! My brother has chickens and I love to visit his house. I don't think the town would let us have any.
Hope you really enjoy your vacation.
RYC: That was my plan until the fellowship became the problem!
It wasn't a productive fellowship if you know what I mean. It never is for them there--that would be the true issue I think! I think you put your finger on what I haven't been able to this whole time!! So...how do I fix that??
Glad that you are starting to feel a bit better.... my allergies are about to kill me and I can feel the starts of a sinus headache~blech!
Neat about the chickens...it's always been a dream of mine to make it to the country and have a small hobby farm....
Have a blessed day!
Thanks for stopping by. I can imagine how the bridge can trigger a sense of adventure. Hope you have a great vacation!
Glad your starting to feel a bit better. Have a great vacation!
